  1. Travelling Folk

    Share Share Post
    Travelling people so still call to our home. The same people have been doing so for many years and some of them are very poor. Some of them sell small articles. People buy from them. Sometimes these travellers are welcomed. Some of them remain longer than a night at a time if they have tints they sleep in them and if they have no tints they sleep in old houses. The alms they accept are, milk, butter, eggs, flour, tea, sugar potatoes. Some travel on foot and others in carts.
